AEP presentation Self Analysis
These were my goals for the presentation.
I will refer to them as I reflect my presentation and set new goals for the next one.
1.Preparation/Rehersal
Reflection: I found the images that fitted what I wanted to present quite easily, and the process of choosing what to say went pretty smoothly. However, I needed to practice more. There were parts in the presentation where I repeated things even when they were not so important because I did not get the grammer right. This probably shows the audience that I am nervous.
Goal: I will try to practice more, but I am not sure how I should practice because when I practice alot, I tend to end up memorizing what I am going to say, which makes me sound monotone. I would like to find a way of practicing that does not make me end up sound boring.
2.Voice
Reflection:I am not sure if my goal of speaking clearly so everyone can hear was realized.When I listened to the video, I could not really hear my vioce at a regular volume, so I might have to speak louder. Also, I might be speaking too slow... Even if I am not, I should choose when to speak slowly to emphasize, and when to speak in a regular speed. I think I had almost no emphasis.
Goals:I would like to speak with more volume the next time. Also, I want to consider which sentences to speak slowly and which to not. Most of all, I want to put more emphasis. I would like to research more ways of emphasizing and practice it.
3.Body language
Reflection: I think I took some eye contact but the time that I was looking at the controller and screen was longer. I definately did not do well on my hand gestures. I kept fidgeting with the controller and its string. I do not think my posture was so bad...
Goals:I need to make more eye contact with the audience. If I do so, it probably gives the impression that I am comfortable with speaking in front of them and that lets them concentrate on what I have to say. Most importantly, I have to work on my hand gestures. I would like to pay attention to how other people use their hands when presenting something.
4.Visuals
Reflection: I think the simple words I used in the slides made it easier to understand what I most wanted to say for each slide. I took too much time changing the slides. The process of looking down, checking where the button was, pushing it, looking at the screen, took too much time.
Goals: This overlaps with the goal for body language, but I want to spend less time looking at the controller and screen, and spend more time making eye contact with the audience.
5.Questions
What is a good way to practice so that you do not sound like you have memorized it, but you are still comfortable enough to make plenty of eye contact with the audience?
